Recently renovated 1960s rambler in a peaceful Burien neighborhood, just minutes from freeway access, parks, and SeaTac Airport. This inviting 3-bedroom home features an open-concept layout connecting the spacious living room, dining area, and bonus family room—ideal for gatherings. Rich original hardwood floors and a cozy gas fireplace add timeless character and warmth. Recent updates include new floor tile and vanity in the bathroom, new kitchen and entryway tile, freshly painted dining room and kitchen ceilings, new light fixtures throughout, a new furnace (2025, warranty available), a roof less than 2 years old, and a new washer/dryer (2026).

Enjoy room to entertain, garden, or relax, with a large 2-car garage and spacious driveway for extra parking or a boat. Zoned for an ADU and the entire neighborhood transitions to sewer this Fall 2026.
